Police,clerics group against vendors
06:20:22 È.Ù
Karbala, Aug 2 - Iraqi police in the Shiite Muslim city of Karbala teamed up with religious leaders Saturday to crackdown on street vendors around the revered shrine of Imam Hussein(AS).
A Shiite cleric in a police car, accompanied by two other police cars and a van full of armed men, urged the people of Karbala by loudspeaker to join the crackdown.
"You, the loyalists of Hussein! Help us rid this city of the lust so it refinds its purity!" the cleric said.
According to one policeman, street vendors have moved into the road leading to the Imam Hussein's mausoleum, selling, among other thing, weapons, ammunition, pornographic videos, alcohol and drugs.
"Don't stay here. Move along," the policeman said to a curious crowd.
One passerby added: "Finally, we have a police force that takes orders from clerics and not the Americans."

Iraq,the end of US hegemony
05:27:24 È.Ù
Berlin, Aug 1 - America's problems in occupied Iraq might spell the end of its global military super power status, renowned French philosopher Emmanuel Todd said Friday in an interview with the Daily Handels Blatt.
"From a military standpoint, the US have the same problems in Iraq as the Russians had in Afghanistan, or Napoleon had in Egypt.
In reality, Iraq is for the US what Afghanistan was for the Soviet Union: the beginning of the end," Todd pointed out.
"When in 1976, I predicted the downfall of the Soviet Union, nobody wanted to believe me. Today, the Americans are showing the same symptoms as the Russians did: Their policy is blinded towards the realities and the economy is blinded ideologically," he said.
According to Todd, whose recent book "World Power USA: An obituary"made the German top 10 best seller list, Washington's snubbing of strategically important allies like Germany and France was a mistake.
Both European countries had vehemently opposed the American invasion of Iraq.
